IMO nothing that you'd notice

Replaced my stock 50i with a pair of the X5M ones I ordered from FCP. The install went incredibly easy. The silicone grease around the O-rings makes the filters snap right in without any issues. Apologies for the dirty engine bay. That was spruced up shortly after the install.
